Why Hillary's footdragging on releasing the TRANSCRIPTS is concerning

[ViseGrip]

Simply because, it's being talked about around the world!!!

Her emails along with the transcripts show, she is one of the least transparent politicians ever.

That, is why it is so concerning.

The IRS has Bernie's taxes....don't you worry about that. Again, the IRS has the Sanders taxes over the years.

No one but secretive Hillary, has her transcripts.

Hillary, release them now. The people (less your supporters) demand it.

[Vinca]

1. We can't even hear her fund raising speeches now. She's got "white noise" machines.

She's probably got armed guards on the Wall Street transcripts.

[pdsimdars]

40. They are probably protected better than she protected American secrets on her server.

[beedle]

45. +1

[Octafish]

2. She turned a sound machine on reporters outside a fundraiser.

Thus, by extension, whatever she tells those with lots of money is something she doesn't want those without much money to know about.

Why would Goldman Sachs, UBS, etc pay anyone $225,000 an hour?

[global1]

11. If I Was A Reporter I'd Be Pissed - But Have Any Of The Reporters - Reported On The White Noise?....

Have the cable news networks made mention of the white noise?

[Faux pas]

3. K N R-ed

[ViseGrip]

4. keep kicking, as Hillary supporters make 'hay' over releasing taxes, the IRS already has!

[FlatBaroque]

5. Funny things about these corrupt politicians like Hillary

they want to keep their own words and communications completely out of the public's eye, but they are the first to promote the surveillance of ordinary citizens. I hate these people with a passion of a thousand suns.

[ViseGrip]

6. Exactly why I'll never vote for her, or hold my nose for a democrat.

I'll save that physical action to stop her.

[Mudcat]

56. K&R with searchlights, roadflares, and sirens! nt

[FreakinDJ]

7. The Prosecutions will continue until the Defendants pay up

Their just paying it forward

[Tarc]

8. No one outside the Sanders camp cares about the transcripts

Clinton isn't "foot-dragging", she has no intention or desire to release them at all. It isn't even on the radar anymore.

[ViseGrip]

10. That is NOT true. Hillary lost my own 90 year old mother, democrat for life

over this shit.

Again, you show your own tone deafness, matching that of the campaign. It's not just Sander's supporters. Ignore at your own peril. You don't hold your candidate accountable, for if you did, she'd probably be a better candidate. You work FOR her, not WITH her.

13. really? here's a few links from the last 24 hours

But Donald did it too!!

Clinton would not budge when asked why she does not disclose transcripts or recordings of the paid speeches she has made to Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street firms and special interests, typically for $225,000 per speech.

15. BWAHAHAHA

A conservative blog and the seventh blurb down the page on a local news site?

[Viva_La_Revolution]

18. while you were giggling, i added some more

[Tarc]

19. WOOHOO, MORE BLOGS!

[Viva_La_Revolution]

26. DU'ers, please notice this behavior. two of those are not blogs yet this poster tries to claim so

If i had more time to waste on this foolishness, i could post more. Just google 'clinton transcripts' click News and 24 hours. Seems they just can't kill this issue, no matter how dismissive certain posters here behave.

[Tarc]

32. Yes, DU'ers, please look at Viva's citing of the Beacon, described as "decadent and unethical"

by the Atlantic.

This is what Camp Sanders has devolved into; a regurgitator of right-wing invective. What next, Brietbart? NewsMax?

[Viva_La_Revolution]

35. what about the other links?

[ViseGrip]

23. Again, you choose to ingore the 90 year old lifetime democrat, a WOMAN.

This is why the campaign is tanking. Hillary couldn't get good advice if she looked for it, outside of her inner circle.

[Tarc]

24. The candidate that will win NY, Penn, Maryland by double digits is tanking?

Is today Opposites Day?

[Viva_La_Revolution]

30. yes. fracking, vote suppression and money in politics are now fine with hillary supporters

Definite twilight zone

[Dem2]

29. Free Beacon, PJmedia, Fox, Daily Caller, The Federalist, Washington Examiner, Breitbart

Is there no self-awareness of those who are trying to slander and destroy one of our Democratic candidates?

Is DU essentially reddit/politics now where right-wing sources are massively upvoted because they are attempting to push Hillary out for what they perceive as an easier candidate to beat?

This isn't how we're supposed to do it on our side.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

34. ummm ok i'll take out the free beacon ( the only one you listed that i used) and replace it with 2

[global1]

20. Obviously - You Are A Hillary Supporter And That's Ok - But Have You Thought Of This?.....

Do you want to be made a fool of. She is asking you to vote for her. Don't you want to know she is not saying one thing to you and saying something completely different to Goldman Sachs? If so - she's making a fool of you. Your defending her and yet you don't know if she is being straight with you.

Don't you think that she needs to release those transcripts to prove that she is not jerking your chain?

If she doesn't release them one can assume that she is trying to hide something that she doesn't want you to find out.

That's not being very trustworthy. So how could you justify giving your precious vote to her?

American's have died to give you that precious 'Right To Vote' - all I'm asking you is to not squander it without being sure that you are not being taken advantage of.

Don't go into this with blind faith. Trust, but Verify.

That's all I'm trying to do as I may be in a position to vote for Hillary myself.

[floppyboo]

57. Excellent point

" That's all I'm trying to do as I may be in a position to vote for Hillary myself. "

Indeed - Unless undermining the party is part of their plan.

[Orsino]

41. Translation: too many people care about the transcripts.

Please stop caring about the transcripts.

[LondonReign2]

46. Camp Hillary and her followers simply don't give a shit about ethics

Republicans by another name

[2banon]

61. You may not realize it, but you just exposed something that matters

the fact that no one in the Hillary Camp cares about those transcripts say a great deal more about who support her than any political ad could possibly express quite as well.

Not a very enlightened segment of our electorate, to say the least.

[TCJ70]

63. That same camp you're so quick to minimize is a required voting block for her to win...

...you'd think she'd have a vested interest in winning them over on at least something.

[anotherproletariat]

9. Since when is releasing transcripts of private talks required of politicians?

Why would people pay to hear someone talk, when they can just read the transcripts? Basically, Sanders is upset that he was never popular enough to be paid to give speeches. This is not something involving 'transparency' as there is no precedent, moral or ethical standard where anyone ever has released private event transcripts.

I think you are confusing this with politicians releasing their tax returns. Oh yeah, has Sanders released his yet?

[ViseGrip]

12. Because WE the people bailed out these banks and no one went to jail, so we

kinds need to know......ya think?

Biggest bailout and criminal activity to take down the U.S. economy. Now she speaks to them in private for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Not the same....I'd give her a pass, if our tax dollars were not used, and a bunch of them went to jail. That didn't happen, so what are they up to next? Have to ask cuz we can't trust them.

Only Hillary knows!

[anotherproletariat]

16. She was a private citizen at the time (October 2013)

Basically, you just want to know because you are curious? Not only Hillary knows, the hundreds of people she spoke to know as well, and apparently it was boring enough that no one remembers.

[ViseGrip]

25. Sure she was private then, but now asking for top public job!

[anotherproletariat]

38. What you guys don't seem to get is that the only time this is even an issue is against a candidate

who didn't give paid speeches. (And it's not because of some 'holier than thou' stance, if he was popular enough he would have readily taken paid gigs, even - just as Hillary did - to give the money to charity.) As soon as the GE starts, it's a non-issue. Besides, why would anyone give in to an opponent that they are beating?

I would bet my bottom dollar that as soon as Sanders is out of this race, he will start giving paid speeches - now that he is a more well-known public figure.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

37. she had plans to run for president, so that private citizen shit doesn't fly

[anotherproletariat]

44. Sure it does...makes all the difference. As a private citizen she is not ethically obligated to

release them. Every other modern president has given speeches to Wall Street companies and large financial firms. Each has governed in different ways, so there is no direct correlation attributable to these interactions. As long as we have a capitalistic society, this is going to continue.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

48. did you hear about this revolution thingy? I'm so sorry that the establishment is feeling scared

because we are insisting that their actions match their words. Change is hard but we are not going away this time.

The corrupt business as usual is no longer accepted.

[anotherproletariat]

65. Corrupt is breaking legal, moral or ethical rules...what you are doing is

conflating something you don't like with something that it is not.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

67. i choose my own morals and ethics

And i will vote for the person who matches them, not the one who seems to hold opposite positions.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

21. Sanders tax returns are all on file with the Senate, per the rules. only hillbots don't seem to

understand this.

[ViseGrip]

27. PS. As I said in the OP, you can be sure the IRS has all of them, or you wold have heard!

And the Clinton taxes and how you fund their lifestyle would make you sick....listening to all of the 'no we can't' bullshit'.

[dchill]

39. "Basically, Sanders is upset that he was never popular enough ..."

Seriously? You're some kind of comedian.

[pdsimdars]

42. Since when? Since they giver her MILLIONS of dollars. That's when.

Seems pretty simple to me. And it should be to anyone without blinders on.

[LondonReign2]

47. Anyone with ethics, i.e., anyone outside of Camp Weathervane,

would see the potential conflict. No wonder it escaped you.

[DanTex]

14. "The IRS has Bernie's taxes....don't you worry about that." LOL. Does that go for Trump as well?

[ViseGrip]

28. O course. And the SENATE HAS BERNIE'S TAXES AS PER REQUIREMENT.

Azzholes....

[Dem2]

17. lol

Ring that bell! Smash one Democrat to promote another, such a positive approach to choosing a leader.

[BernieforPres2016]

22. Hillary is not dragging her feet on releasing the transcripts

She has no intention of ever releasing them. It could not be more clear. But being the triangulator she is, she will not just say no when she can pretend that she is open to the idea.

[ViseGrip]

31. That is why there is no positive way to promote her, unless you are high

or something....and her caginess, and untrustworthy ways, is the reason for this season, I won't be supporting a Clinton. Not now, not ever. Not even when their lying daughter grows the hell up. Can't wait for that. No more Bush's, and no more Clinton's. This poll has been done.

[yourpaljoey]

33. She wants Trump to release them in the General, silly!

[upaloopa]

36. Nobody but Bernie and his supporters gives a shit about transcrpits

You're losing and you hope you can use the transcripts to hurt Hillary so no you aren't going to see them. In a short time soon there won't be a Bernie campaign and then nobody will care about them

[jcgoldie]

50. exactly

Around the world? No.

[ViseGrip]

54. Reread OP. my 90 yr old lifetime democrat mother, will not vote for Hillary

because of not releasing the transcripts, after the bank bailout and economic crash.

Keep saying it's just Bernie. Campaigns don't ignore shit. That's why this is a losing campaign.

Bernie is ahead today, of where he was before MI.


flame out!

[jcgoldie]

59. Ok I'm extremely embarrassed to say

My 81 year old father voted for Donald Trump. Thankfully that won't have much affect on anyone's campaign nor whether anybody not supporting Bernie Sanders already gives a damn about the transcripts of Hillary's speeches to Wall Street.

[pdsimdars]

43. And I LOVE the way Bernie calls her out on it in every speech. . and the people CHEER!

[Paper Roses]

49. Hillary: No transparency, no platform, no possible change.

Too many questions not answered, too much position change, not enough believable information. Sick of hearing "I'll look into it".
I just don't believe anything will change with her in the White House.

I kept an open mind for a long time. I no longer give her my support. Something new has to be implemented, but it will never come from an Clinton administration.

[Gomez163]

51. How about never? Is never good for you?

[Buzz Clik]

53. +1

[Buzz Clik]

52. You've been concerned for quite some time.

Wringing hands?
Clutching pearls?
Building outrage?

Must be awful.

[ViseGrip]

55. Not at all. Only clinging to nightmares of more war, spending, and cuts to people in need.

Via hillary.

[Buzz Clik]

60. Feel the Bern! Plant those magic beans, and harvest the money from the trees. Free shit for everyone

[ViseGrip]

62. Oh it's not free. Do you now support all of Bush's tax cuts for the rich???

[Arizona Roadrunner]

64. Can a taxpayer sue Clinton for release of those speeches?

Can a tax payer sue Clinton for release of those speeches to Goldman-Sachs? If Goldman-Sachs tax deducted those speeches as an "expense", then it would be interesting to find out if a regular taxpayer has "standing" to sue. This would be based on the "regular" taxpayer paying more in taxes or getting less in services because of the lost revenue to the government due to the $675,000 tax deduction.

This situation is why she stands at between 57% and 59% disapproval rate. Her lack of perceived "honesty" makes her a VERY flawed candidate. Frankly, if she were to get elected, if Republicans retain control of the Senate and House, they will file impeachment charges on day one, and there will a transaction by transaction investigations of her and Bill's speeches, their "foundation" and ties to decisions made while she was Secretary of State such as the Swiss bank UBS situation.

http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/07/hillary-helps-a-bankand-then-it-pays-bill-15-million-in-speaking-fees/400067/

The bottom line is there are too many risks for her getting elected let alone being allowed to govern due in large part to the and Bill's actions. Is it true they registered corporations in Delaware? If they did, the only reason one does that unless they live in Delaware is to evade and/or avoid something.

[ViseGrip]

66. She was a private citizen speaking/seeking to influence her later election, so I don't know.
